Method:Blender, Food Processor, Oven

Ingredients

3 cups Raw Peanuts

2 tablespoons Oil (Extra Virgin Olive Oil or Cold Pressed Oil)

1 tablespoon Sea Salt

1.5 teaspoons Sweetener (Honey, date paste or maple syrup etc.)

2 tablespoons Oil (Extra Virgin Olive Oil or Cold Pressed Oil)

Instructions

Pre-heat the oven to 350 F/ 175 C

Rinse the peanuts and toss with the 2 Tablespoons of Oil and the salt.

Spread out in a single layer on a baking tray (you might have to use 2)

Roast for 30-35 minutes rotating the pans half way through.

Remove from the oven and allow to cool.

Food Processor:

If you are using the food processor, add the peanuts, the other 2 T of Oil and the sweetener to the food processor.

Process until the peanut butter is as smooth as you want it.

You will have to stop and scrape down the sides every so often.

Vitamix (High Speed Blender):

If you are using the vitamix, add the peanuts, the other 2 T of Oil and the sweetener to the blender.

Get your tamper ready in position.

Turn the machine on and quickly up to high and start immediately pushing the peanuts down with the tamper until you’ve got peanut butter. Don’t leave your machine running any longer than 1 minute or you risk burning out your motor. Similarly this won’t work unless your machine is on high and you risk burning out your motor.

Transfer Peanut Butter to a Jar. This will keep for 2 months in the fridge.
